Two men shot near downtown St. Louis nightclub early Monday morning

Two men were shot after an altercation erupted outside of a nightclub in downtown St. Louis early Monday morning, police said.

Authorities are still searching for the gunman, who witnesses said sped off in a brown Buick after allegedly shooting the two 25-year-old men outside of Europe Night Club on North 15th Street.

News 4 researched and discovered other crimes have occurred at or near this location within the last couple of months, including numerous assaults and shootings.

A different gunman allegedly killed 19-year-old Robert Christman at the same club back in January, and police are still searching for the suspect who shot Michael Jackson Jr. in late April, just a few blocks down.

“Just hearing about the shootings and homicides, it's kind of sickening actually,” said Dexter Oates, who lives nearby.

The two victims involved in this recent incident have been hospitalized. No word yet on the extent of their injuries.
